Captured Entirely Using PS5

Rockstar Games' announcement that the second trailer for GTA 6 was "captured entirely in-game from a PlayStation 5, composed of equal parts gameplay and cutscenes" has sparked a lot of discussion. The trailer's high quality led many fans to question which segments were actual gameplay, as everything appeared to be cutscene-worthy. A fan noted that all cutscenes in Rockstar Games are run in-game, yet some remain skeptical about the footage being entirely in-game.

Additionally, fans are curious about whether the trailer was captured on a standard PS5 or the more powerful PS5 Pro, given the significant performance and graphical differences between the two. Rockstar Games has not yet clarified this, leaving fans to speculate.

The trailer is packed with details, some of which are easy to spot while others require a closer look. One notable return is Phil Cassidy, a familiar face from the GTA series known for selling guns.

Another exciting feature hinted at in the trailer is the return of the Gym System, first seen in GTA San Andreas. The protagonist, Jason Duval, is shown working out on a beach, suggesting players might once again be able to customize their character's physique. The trailer also teases a variety of activities, including golf, fishing, scuba diving, hunting, basketball, kayaking, and fight clubs. While not officially confirmed, these activities could be part of the final game, given that everything shown was captured in-game.

As fans continue to dissect the trailer, more references and Easter eggs are being discovered daily. Despite the recent delay announcement, anticipation for GTA 6 remains high. The game is now scheduled for release on May 26, 2026, on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S. Stay tuned for more updates by checking out our related articles below!
